“I am doing fine. In fact, I was so happy, What happened yesterday, [Thursday] it will take someone 25 to 30 years to get this glory. You are the one who thinks it was the other way around. It gave me a political mileage and it will take someone 30 years to get such a mileage.
“In fact, the whole world was discussing me,” he added.
The Dansoman court granted bail to Hopeson Adorye, a prominent figure in the Movement for Change, at GH¢20,000 with two sureties.
